Clinicals Eve
So the big day is about here. It's tomorrow the day i start my clinicals. I'm starting to have cold feet now :( Sad haha, that laugh is to let out some nervousness and anxiety. I laugh and tell jokes when am nervous about something.Before i even get into the whole clinical vibe let me just break it down, how the Fundamentals class has been so far. It's been ok. Besides you know who writing exams in tagalog and teaching straight off of the cds that came with the book, it's been fine. The lab class has been a kick back, literally no sugar coating. I don't feel like i learnt a whole bunch in it but hey when i start doing the hands on i hope it'll fall in place then i can connect the dots, just hopefully...
Yesterday. Monday night was lecture night. Finally we got our uniforms, they gave them to us in class contrary to what they said on orientation day that they'd come to us in the mail but it's same difference to me. Everyone was fitting there's in class. I waited out until i got home to try mine on and they are a perfect fit and oh so very cute tatata, plus with my tenies on, i look good to go. I hope it's as easy as i'm trying to make it sound.
Yesternight was first night of class w/out Q. I miss her already, too bad she can't be in my cohort anymore. They also gave us out Med Surg(which my next class beginning 09/25) schedules. It sounds complex and i've not even started it and plus she was kinda mean to everyone and rubbing everyone the wrong way and she's not even teaching yet. Is it me or is it getting worse? oh well...I'm excited and graetful to God b/c for my Med Surg class my clinical placement is in a hospital near my house. Also no more saturday classes as i said last week. So hopefully it'll be a tad better but i know for sure the workload won't let me.
The program is really fast pace. I barely started the fundamentals class and look i already see the shore, like i should be reading for the final right now. Again last night Lisa said to read the ATI book, gotta do it. Hopefully the final will come from the ATI. We also got our 2nd exam back and you guessed right i so flanked it, not like i expected to ace it. I didn't read jerk nada b/c i was all busy studying to retake my Med Calc exam and i had both exams on the same night and my priority was def the med calc exam which i passed. I have to ace the final so bad.
Tonight i'll have to wash my uniforms. They are all starchy and new-smelling. Tomorrow clinicals at 3pm. I commit this to God. 3pm-11pm that's an ok shift considering for my med surg its a 12hr shift, i believe nothing i can't do, so help me God. G is giving me a ride there so thats a day one plus, gotta keeping writing my gratitude list right? then for my lab the L.I was really nice and gave me a ride to the trolley each night after class so that too was a huge blessing.
I'm really nervous about tomorrow. I hope and pray i'll be fine. I hope i get a good patient to work with and a great nurse. Well i'm trying to expect none of both,b/c according to me expectations are resentments in the making so am just hoping right? God help me, i'm leaving it all to God.
Okie gtg now, will hopefully come back and update you on how it went. God luck to me. Go me!
